I'm new to XBMC, but (thanks to my Rasperry Pi), I've now got one media setup that can (in theory) work across my mixture of Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and Android. Hooray!

Except, unfortunately, it turns out that VIDEO_TS format DVD rips won't play across NFS. To demonstrate this, I've got 2 log files. In both cases, I start with an empty Movie Library, add "Hugo" from my NAS box, and then attempt to play it. (I then removed the source again, in a new session, which I didn't log, before starting over).

I'm using XBMC 12.0-RC2, running on 64 bit Windows 7 SP 1.

1. Via NFS http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=24005 Video doesn't play.
2. Via SMB http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=24006 all is fine.

The relevant chunk of the NFS log seems to be:

15:31:52 T:3776 ERROR: XFILE::CNFSFile::Read - Error( -14, pread call failed with "" )

I'd rather have everything working across NFS, just for that cross machine compatibility.

I cannot imagine you are the only one with this problem. I too have this problem and cannot find any answers.
I've just started to install my new system with NFS to find out aftwerwards that I can't play any DVD videos in the movie library.

I've got exactly the same issue as you have.

Is there anybody out there with a solution?
I'm on the latest Frodo 12.2 (12.1 has the same issues)

Kind regards

*bump* ...
please...Anybody? :-(
The issue is still here with the latest Gotham release :-(

Hi, for what it is worth, I also get the same error: ERROR: XFILE::CNFSFile::Read - Error( -14, pread call failed with "" )

I am using two instances of XBMC, One on my PC and one on the Raspberry Pi. In order to keep the marks and libraries synchronized I used the buildin option of XBMC to setup a MySQL library on my QNAP NAS. Since RaspBMC does not support SMB I had to setup both instances with NFS links to the NAS.

With Windows using the NSF connection XBMC does not play VIDEO_TS
